9 features to look for in Cloud HD video conferencing

The bad old days of video conferencing — when systems were complex, clunky, and costly — meant that a video conference happened only between two expensively-equipped conference rooms that left participants feeing disconnected from the conversation. Average participants (read: not those in the top executive suite) needed to reserve the video conference space, so meetings were rarely spontaneous.

Not surprisingly, video conferencing remained niched. Regular people (read: not top executives) found that video conferences were simply more trouble than they were worth.

But not anymore, thanks to the “cloudifying” of HD video conferencing, which reliably enables multiple face-to-face connections via widely available IP, 4G, and satellite channels to boardrooms, desktops, and mobile iOS, Android, and Windows devices.

The right Cloud HD video conferencing solution is affordable, easy to use, accessible to everyone via any IP device, and uses a redundant infrastructure that ensures reliability and anytime availability — no reservations required.
